Westlake RoomThis story of giving & receiving, of seeing & being seen is a beautifully crafted novel about the importance of wonder to a purposeful life & the invisible threads of kindness that bind us together.
One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from...or why. His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers. Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their "rightful owners." With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.
